Album Notes & Community Reviews
Retreating entirely from the punishing avant-garde assault of 'Metal Machine Music', Lou Reed delivered one of the warmest, most surprisingly tender albums of his entire career. Dedicated to his transgender partner Rachel, 'Coney Island Baby' is a remarkably mellow, beautifully romantic pop-rock record, balancing his signature sarcastic wit with deeply nostalgic, sun-drenched declarations of love.
